Dear Social Security Administration

Ever wonder what it would be like to be completely honest with a government agency?
I'm almost considering sending this...possibly written in crayon.Dear SSA

I really think you should send them this. I think they need to be shaken up a bit ;) And hell, maybe it'd actually get something resembling results in a more timely manner.

It is SO tempting.
However, reading over some of my answers thus far on the actual forms, evidently my weird comes shining through there too.
One answer includes the sentence, "Food really isn't a priority for me.

I find it funny that I don't even notice my own "inappropriateness."
I didn't notice the oddness of several responses until I told my sister some of what I'd accomplished and she laughed heartily.
Her overall response was, "Keep up the good work...You may even get it on the first round."
Er...encouragement like that feels a little "double-edged."

However, I did once solve a financial aid clusterfuck by showing up at their office every day, using the strategy that "eventually they'll give it to me just so they won't have to deal with me anymore."
It worked.

I think if you sent that to them, if they had a really smart person they could sponser you to do like a celeb blog thing as your trains of thoughts, sharpe wit and vastly intelligent mind with matching curiousity are way more intresting to read than that of any blogs any celebs might do, like the Truman Show but in blog form where you get to control the content and what you choose to share, I side with Heather on this one, you are pure awesome.
On a more serious note, I hope things get sorted soon and it sucks that they are trying to make you jump through all theose hoops and fill out those forms, they should send people with those forms to fill them out... Although I don't mean folding them up or some kind of mini person where you just add water and watch them rehydrate into a proper person, because although that would be all kinds of cool it could also be rather messy and slightly impossible, instead send them with planes, taxis and cars.
I need to talk to Oli tomorrow about the idea of sending dehydrated little people in the post

Oh and I forgot to tie off the pharmaceutical thing with this

I've had meds like that. Maybe they DID slip me some hallucinogens.

Man...It's been a dream of mine for years to make a living/get famous or something via writing about whatever weird shit pops into my head

I have that song!
The Hitler one, that is.

Isn't it hilarious?!?
Have you seen the actual cartoon?

[midnightlynx]

I distantly remember my 8th grade history teacher showed the class old propaganda cartoons in class. I'm fairly sure that was one of them. Also I distinctly remember a clip of Porky Pig saying:
"Son of a b-bi-b-b-bi-bi... a b-b-bi-b-bi-bi... Darn."
*ducks down the circle*
*pops back out*
"Ha! I bet you thought I was going to say son of a bitch!"

There's a DVD of old Disney wartime propaganda. I have it on my wishlist.

a tip!

i felt almost exactly the same when i had to fill out those papers.. it pissed me off to the extent that a couple of days before it was due to be sent out, i decided to answer every question with the first thing that came to mind... which, in at least 5 cases, was 'this question is fucking retarded.' or 'i honestly cant make myself care enough to answer this.' haha. i guess they believed me, though. hope this helps. <3
